Join us to see the Garden brought to life after dark with stunning displays and artistic interventions!
The lights will highlight some of the Garden’s most beloved features (such as the Fountain, Lake and Glasshouse Range) and create beautiful experiences around the rest of the landscape.
Our Café will be on the route with warm offerings, and there will also be hot drinks and snacks available halfway round to revive spirits and warm up any chilly fingers!
We pile meaning on our hair, changing the cut, style and colour to influence how the world sees us – and how we see ourselves. Hair is always with us and is a part of our body which we can modify at will. And if this is true today, it was also true in the ancient past. So for one afternoon only, we’re going to be getting hands-on with ancient hair and embodying the styles of the classical past here in our atmospheric Cast Gallery.

Whether it’s your favourite woolly jumper or a 17th-century wooden globe, pests love eating organic materials. This means they are a threat to museum collections. This display showcases objects that have been damaged by pests and explores the behind-the-scenes work that museums do to protect their objects. You can even have a go at identifying real museum pests yourself!
The unique geological structure of Parian marble allowed ancient sculptors to shape the most sensuous of human forms.
